It is a great learning project, too

Why don't you implement your own little scripting engine? You probably only need a little subset of functionality anyway and you can create the interface just like you want it to be.

Thanks a lot!

Well, yes. lua_dostring() is probably the way to go. You need to expose the data you want to be able to change to Lua. Classes can be mapped to Lua tables, if I remember correctly. There's a whole bunch of literature on the internet about this.

I have no experience with Lisp or Haskell, so I can't say anything about that. Also you should open up a different thread for your Lua question. Back to topic: Game Engine should be modular, easy to maintain, loosly coupled, easy to extend and doesn't use Object oriented paradigm (mainly inheritance...

I suppose you're coding in C++ and there's no need to switch to something else. You can write very efficient code with it, just be wary of certain language features, e.g. inheritance. Try this approach: - Have a clear vision of what your game should be like. - Use this to define the technical needs ...

Have you already started accepting people to the group?

I don't know what your situation is so this might not help you, but if you're creating models with 3D modelling software you can usually export the model file with vertex normals included.

There is no reason not to start with Java. 3rd party library usage is more or less drag and drop, which is very helpful for beginners, who can easily get confused by a myriad of compiler options. Also don't worry too much about performance when you're just starting out. I'm currently developing an O...

Only a picture:

I just ordered an Oculus Rift I can't wait to start deving!!

Thanks guys. It was quite a lot of work actually. Not understanding the technique but implementing it with libGDX and the usual OpenGL hassles. I'm currently writing a blog post about it to save people with the same goal from hours of frustration.

I spent the last days implementing cel shading with OpenGL ES2.0 for my game. You can also see a little fist fight against the AI in this video

PS: watch on 720p!

Right, but how do you even get an interview without a degree? Won't most people just throw out the application without a CS degree? It makes an easy filter. You need to have a good portfolio. Describe what kind of skillset you have and back it up with examples of your previous work. For example, I ...

Never ask about pay / vacation / benefits during a job interview. In Germany it's quite usual to talk about this in interviews, although it's rather the interviewer that asks you how much salary you expect from the job. This is fine if you're an established professional with past job experience and...
